Background: This paper describes the introduction and development of School-Wide Positive Behavioral Support (SWPBS) in Japan. The educational system in Japan is described, with a focus on elementary and junior high schools. Over the past decade, an increase in challenging behaviors from students, multiple demands on teachers’ time, and a productive history of behavior analytic services in schools led to an interest in the adoption of SWPBS at the Tier 1 level. Adoption is described across the four stages of implementation defined by implementation science: exploration, installation, initial implementation and full implementation. After successful exploration and installation in one elementary school in Tokushima Prefecture in 2016, initial implementation was extended to other elementary and junior high schools in the same prefecture and then to other regions of Japan. As of 2022, Tier 1 SWPBS has been adopted in approximately 400 schools in Japan. Cultural adaptations that have contributed to adoption include campaigns led by school personnel and students to teach school-wide behavioral expectations. Three issues related to the full implementation of SWPBS in Japan and further adaptation to Japanese culture are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
